Stellan was lost in confusion. “Father, Yvette and the others are clearly in his hands. Why are we just letting this go?”
Arlo stared out the window, his expression grim. “Do you think Sebastian doesn’t know for a fact that his fiancée is with George? He is giving us a taste of our own medicine precisely because he lacks definitive proof.
“Since we also lack evidence against him, we are locked in a stalemate. Now, it is simply a matter of who can hold out the longest.”
“What do we do then?” Stellan asked anxiously. “If George refuses to hand over the girl, Sebastian will never release Yvette and the rest. Are we really going to just sit here and let the clock run?”
Arlo thought for a moment. “Call George.”
Stellan quickly dialed George’s number, but it went unanswered. He finally called George’s residence only to be told that George had left the country.
“Father, what now?”

Stellan looked at Arlo. “Father, how much longer? Yvette and the children have been missing for days. We don’t even know if they are alive or dead. We still can’t reach George. Are we just going to wait for the end?”
“Exactly, Father,” Phineas added irritably. “I don’t understand why I am being punished for George’s mistakes. My wife and son are gone, and we can’t find a single lead. This is ridiculous.”

Arlo grabbed the device and answered. “What is it?”
